Build Thread '83 T-top Coupe - Welding Holes in My Rear

[95BlueStallion]

I have actually had to cut back on my beer consumption. Out of no where I have started getting heartburn from it, and I have never had a heartburn issue. Even tried Michelob Ultra 95 calorie beer, and that only worked a couple days before the heartburn popped up with it. Gonna have to learn to like liquor I guess.

Booker's whiskey. If you like bourbon, it's very good. It cost about $60 per bottle, but at 130-140 proof, it's like buying several lesser bourbons. I have to reduce mine with two parts water to the whiskey just to enjoy it!

Not that i'm condoning alcohol consumption, of course. And as always, moderation is the key.

I understand the heartburn issue though. some times the tummy just needs a break.

What about Old Grandad?

What about Old Grandad?

He's pretty cool too but grandma gets grumpy when I drink

Well crap! I thought I would bring the carpet pieces to the shop with me today to see how they will look on the door panels.

They're about 1/2" too tall......crap........

Guess I'll have to get my sew back on. Bastards.

That, or just loose the bottom stripe on the vinyl.

 

[Noobz347]

Can you not just overlap the seams a bit more to split the difference?

To me, the metal-ish strip at the bottom of the door is no selling feature. Let it get covered by the carpet.

I would get it close to original, unless those pinkies are still sore from the last round of stitching, but then, I'd probably would have bought new one anyway and I think I know what your going to do.
Sew on bro

I think that little strip is kind of needed, especially with me painting the strips the accent grey.

I said screw it and ordered a correct size set. Doggone '86 and before have a carpet height between 4.5" and 5".

I'm trying not to spend on these little $40 things. This is one of those to spend on.

Sid note. I would like your opinions on this topic.

I was thinking of painting my deck lid GLX emblem the same green in it's center as the hood GLX green.

 

[a91what]

Yes. It will make a nice custom touch.

 

[General karthief]

Yes, what he said^

Hello Dave, just checking in. I'm too lazy to read all these pages, is there an actual car in this thread yet? I've stayed away from your thread because your thread is like the hot "second base" only girl. Just a tease with all these individual parts getting a beautiful paint job here and there and some awesome interior work. I need more bro! I need to see the promise land! How long do I need to date this thread before I get what I really want!

We are going to have to change your name, davedapartspainter, lol

I'm kidding and just giving you a hard time. Seriously though, I'm excited to see the car get painted and assembled. It's going to be beautiful when it's all done.
